Start reading the first in this series, and you'll wind up getting to know a whole town and following a cast of characters through mysteries, romances, marriages, babies, new houses and more. In Deep South Dead, Hunter Jones takes a job at a weekly newspaper in Merchantsville, Georgia, and quickly learns that in small towns gossip travels faster than the press can run. She's a bit of an outsider looking in until she goes to a grand old mansion for an interview with the president of the historical society, only to find that a murderer got there first.
Now, if she can only get the best looking sheriff in Georgia, Sam Bailey, to take her hunches seriously...

I got this free on a Kindle special and wasn't expecting much. Sometimes the books are worth what you pay for them, you know? Well this one was a very pleasant surprise--I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more stories about Hunter and her friends in Georgia.There was no sex, no foul language, nothing "weird" going on, a nice clean story with interesting characters, a good mystery, a few red herrings as any good who-dun-it should have, and a little romance. Even had kittens.

Deep South Dead A Hunter Jones Mystery Book 1 edition by Charlotte Moore Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
The author has the knack of describing small town life down to minuscule details. From folks gathering at R&J's diner to eat while gossiping to Sunday church functions, Charlotte Moore nails all of the everyday activities of small town life. Also, there is a titillating array of sex, lies, and gossip as well as the affairs and cheating going on behind the scenes.
The main character, Hunter Jones is a writer/reporter, and a transplant from elsewhere,for the small town newspaper and privy to investigations thanks to also being good friends with all of the members of the small police department.The characters are well drawn so that the reader can "see" them quite clearly. This allows one to understand the motivations behind the characters' action while finding the actions believable and totally within character. For that matter, the characters are ones that you see everyday in a small town. Ones that you 'know and love' or 'know and hate' but you know them all because they make up every small town. In this type of small town if you forget what you did the other day you just ask a neighbor because they all know what you did too, sometimes better than you yourself!
While there are several suspects during the investigation the author does a decent job of obfuscation and she keeps you thinking about "whodunit". There are also several smaller points of interest solved at the end which wrap up the conclusion quite well.
In terms of grammar and mechanics the grammar has no problems. The mechanics have several errors in terms of omitted words or words in the wrong order in the sentence but this is not enough of a distraction to make you want to stop reading. The format flowed well with the characters speaking in third person with the exception of the main character, Hunter, using an italicized font (written as an email format to her best friends) to provide additional info to the reader through the course of the narrative. However, due to having initially missed the fact that Hunter is writing an email to her good friend who is elsewhere it seems as if the italicized section was Hunter doing some self-reflection about the information she has to that time.
Being from the South the title was an instant attention-getter. The book describes small town life in the South very well along with the usual cast of expected characters while laying out a very interesting mystery that ends in a satisfying note.
I would definitely read more in the Hunter Jones series. She is an interesting character with just the right amount of believability when helping the sheriff and his folks solve crimes. Thanks to Hunter being a newspaper reporter the reader can accept that she will dig out the story and investigate the story to the point of helping solve local crime.
If you like mysteries with interesting quirky characters as well as small town Southern living then the Hunter Jones series by Charlotte Moore is for you. Definitely five-star with no qualifications.
Those who love the South know that small towns are the best of places to live, or at least be from. Everyone knows everyone else and the welcome is always warm. But in Charlotte Moore’s first book in the Hunter Jones series, Deep South Dead, murder is right next door. Filled with regular, albeit quirky, characters, Moore manages to capture the down home feel while creating a mystery that will have you guessing until the end.
Hunter Jones is a young, big city reporter who moves to the slower-paced Merchantsville, Georgia, to write her novel. She thinks that working for the local weekly will afford her the time to spend pursuing her dream. But not one, but two murders get her investigative juices flowing, and she is on the case. Sheriff Sam Bailey, the best looking sheriff in Georgia, begrudgingly accepts her help. They, along with other colorful characters, add sass and spice to this cozy mystery.
My church book club, Page Turners, had the honor of visiting with Charlotte last night. She shared stories from her days as a small town features writer of the local paper, as well as her venture in writing novels. She also filled us in on the process of publishing in the ebook format. My group loved her book. One member stated that she appreciated that Deep South Dead did not include scared-to-go-to-sleep images while still providing an entertaining mystery. Another member liked that the book was easy to read, providing an escape from the stress of real life. I liked that the characters could be my neighbors, although Charlotte assured us they were not! Deep South Dead was a thoroughly Southern novel — eccentric and colorful characters, small town feel and a definite Southern twang.
Charlotte has written two more books in the series and is at work on book 4. I’m looking forward to reading more in the adventures of Hunter Jones.
(Please note there is some mild profanity.)
Recommended.
Audience Adults.
I've just finished reading all of Charlotte Moore's "Hunter Jones" stories up to #6 and I'm in love with this series.
The stories are well thought out and believable. The characters voices are accurate and full of life.
I can't figure out who "dun" it until almost the end and sometimes not even then.
I also really appreciate that Hunter Jones isn't one of those idiots that are usually found in cozy mysteries, i.e. "I think there's a bad guy in the basement, I'll just go down there and check"...GAAH!! Hunter gathers information related to the crime and tells the police...what a concept.
I would have given 5 stars, except for one small problem with ALL of these books...missing words and additional words. There were times that there were so many missing words, I'd have to read the sentence or paragraph more than once to figure out what the author was talking about.
The most common missing word was "the", Example He went to library and found he was looking for. (Not a quote from the book, just an idea of how confusing it could be).
Please Charlotte add those words back in. Pretend like you're being paid by the word. )
I got this free on a special and wasn't expecting much. Sometimes the books are worth what you pay for them, you know? Well this one was a very pleasant surprise--I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more stories about Hunter and her friends in Georgia.
